LaunchesEnglishBengaluru-based spacetech startup GalaxEye Space Solutions is set to receive Rs 63.84 crore in financial support from the Indian government to develop a multisensor satellite capable of producing OptoSAR imagery at a resolution finer than 0.5 metres. The Technology Development Board (TDB), under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), has signed an agreement with GalaxEye for the support under the government's Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) Fund. The project has a total approved cost of Rs 247.69 crore and aims to take the technology from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 to TRL 9. The financial support will be provided through Optionally Convertible Debentures. The government said the funding will help GalaxEye undertake further development, engineering, testing and validation as it moves the technology towards deployment. How GalaxEye's OptoSAR technology works At the centre of the project is OptoSAR, GalaxEye's approach to combining Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Electro-Optical (EO) imaging. Optical imaging can provide detailed visual information about the Earth's surface, but its effectiveness can be affected by cloud cover and lighting conditions. SAR uses radar and can collect imagery through clouds and irrespective of daylight. GalaxEye's proposed system seeks to fuse information from both sensors to provide a more continuous picture of the Earth across different weather and lighting conditions. The proposed satellite is designed to provide imagery at a resolution finer than 0.5 metres. According to the government, potential applications include wide-area and long-range surveillance, human and vehicle detection, and target classification. “The support from the Technology Development Board under the RDI Fund will enable us to accelerate the development and validation of our OptoSAR technology. By combining SAR and optical sensing, we are working towards an Earth-observation capability that can provide high-resolution information across a wider range of weather and lighting conditions. This partnership will be important in taking the technology towards TRL-9 and its subsequent deployment,” promoters of GalaxEye said. From IIT Madras to Mission Drishti GalaxEye was founded in 2021 by Suyash Singh, Denil Chawda, Pranit Mehta, Kishan Thakkar and Rakshit Bhatt, who were part of a team of engineers at IIT Madras. The startup is developing Earth-observation systems that combine optical and radar sensing. Its first satellite, Mission Drishti, was launched on 3 May 2026 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9. At the time of the launch, the Indian government described Mission Drishti as the world's first OptoSAR satellite and India's largest privately built satellite. According to GalaxEye, the spacecraft was designed to combine optical and SAR sensors on a single platform. The mission later suffered a setback. In July, GalaxEye reported that communication with Drishti became intermittent during the final stage of its Launch and Early Orbit Phase before being lost. The company linked the anomaly to radiation effects associated with a geomagnetic solar storm that were likely to have affected a critical onboard system, while noting that an investigation into the precise cause was still under way. The satellite had completed a substantial part of its planned early-orbit activities and validated several spacecraft systems before communication was lost. It also said it planned to incorporate lessons from the mission into future spacecraft and target the launch of two more OptoSAR satellites within 24 months. In September, GalaxEye announced that it had secured a US patent for technology that synchronises optical and radar sensors, allowing them to collect spatially and temporally aligned Earth-observation data from the same satellite Government's Rs 1 lakh crore RDI programme The GalaxEye agreement comes under the government's wider RDI Scheme, which is aimed at increasing private-sector participation in research and development and supporting the commercialisation of indigenous technologies. The Union Cabinet approved the scheme on 1 July 2025 with an outlay of Rs 1 lakh crore over six years. It was formally launched on 3 November 2025. The programme provides long-term financing to eligible technology companies through debt and equity instruments and is intended to support research-driven and deep-tech projects. It operates through a two-tier structure. A Special Purpose Fund established within the Anusandhan National Research Foundation maintains the scheme's corpus and channels money through Second-Level Fund Managers. TDB and the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council have been designated as Second-Level Fund Managers under the programme. As of July 2026, TDB had approved 22 projects with a combined project cost of Rs 4,744 crore and RDI Fund support of Rs 2,192 crore, according to the government. “India’s space ecosystem is entering a phase where the ability to develop and deploy sophisticated technologies within the country will be increasingly important. The RDI Fund provides an important mechanism to support such technology-intensive efforts through the critical stages between advanced development and deployment. The agreement with GalaxEye reflects TDB’s focus on enabling indigenous capabilities in emerging spacetech and supporting their journey towards commercialisation,” TDB Secretary Rajesh Kumar Pathak said.

AstronomyEnglishTravel no longer needs a milestone attached to it. A birthday, anniversary or school holiday may once have been the obvious reason to plan a family getaway, but increasingly, simply wanting to spend time together is reason enough. A recent Booking.com study, conducted by YouGov across 10 Indian cities, found that 58% of Indian travellers had taken a trip simply because they wanted to. The finding reflects a broader shift towards more spontaneous, experience-led travel, where the motivation is less about marking an occasion and more about making time for the people who matter. For families, this opens up a different way of thinking about the holiday: not as something that needs to be justified, but as an opportunity to pause, reconnect and experience a place together. From heritage stays and wilderness escapes to wellness-led retreats, here are some destinations that make a compelling case for travelling “just because.” Jim Corbett Marriott Resort & Spa At Jim Corbett Marriott Resort & Spa, family time unfolds amidst the Sal forests of Uttarakhand, along the serene Kosi River and on the edge of India’s oldest national park. The resort brings together nature, adventure, wellness and local culture, offering families an opportunity to slow down and reconnect away from the pace of everyday life. From thrilling jungle safaris and guided nature walks to village trails that offer a glimpse into the rich heritage of Kumaon, days can be shaped around discovery or simply spent enjoying the tranquil setting. Families can also unwind with wellness experiences at Quan Spa, enjoy yoga by the river, explore local flavours at The Corbett Kitchen or spend unhurried time together by the pool, while children can enjoy dedicated spaces such as The Jungle and the Kids Club. Designed for both adventure and rejuvenation, the resort makes the case for a family escape where no special occasion is required beyond wanting to be together. Six Senses Fort Barwara At Six Senses Fort Barwara, a family getaway unfolds within the walls of a sensitively restored 14th-century fort, where Rajasthan’s royal heritage meets Six Senses’ focus on wellbeing, sustainability and connection to place. The Family Time proposition is designed for families travelling with children aged 4–11, with a curated two- to three-night journey that brings together heritage, nature, sustainability, food, creativity and wellness. Families can explore the fort and its history, discover local traditions and cuisine, spend time in nature or experience personalised wellness, while the unhurried setting also leaves space for simply being together. It is a stay designed around the idea that family time does not need an occasion, itinerary or reason beyond wanting to step away from everyday life and reconnect. Six Senses Vana At Six Senses Vana, family time takes on a more considered rhythm. Set amidst the quietude of Dehradun, the retreat offers a considered pause from the pace of everyday life- an opportunity for families to step away together, share unhurried moments and return to a deeper sense of balance. Every stay is shaped around a personal intention, with expert practitioners curating a bespoke wellness journey designed to restore balance, cultivate healthier habits and foster lasting well-being beyond the retreat. Rather than following a fixed programme, each Vanavasi experiences a thoughtful blend of wellness consultations, Ayurveda, Yoga, Tibetan Medicine, Natural Healing Therapies, movement, mindfulness and nourishing cuisine, all tailored to individual goals-whether improving sleep, managing stress, restoring energy, enhancing mobility or finding moments of stillness. Families can use the time to cultivate healthier habits and reconnect with one another in a setting designed around balance and wellbeing. More than a getaway, Six Senses Vana offers a reason to come together simply for the time itself, allowing families to return with renewed energy and a renewed sense of wellbeing. InterContinental Jaipur Tonk Road At InterContinental Jaipur Tonk Road, family time unfolds against the regal backdrop of the Pink City, where Rajasthan’s heritage, culture and hospitality come together. Blending contemporary elegance with the character of the region, the hotel offers families an opportunity to discover Jaipur’s grand forts, bustling bazaars and cultural landmarks, before returning to beautifully designed spaces and warm, personalised service. Evenings can be spent over starlit dinners featuring contemporary interpretations of Rajasthani cuisine, followed by time to unwind at the spa or simply linger together in the hotel’s tranquil outdoor spaces. For families looking to step away from everyday routines and spend meaningful time together, the stay becomes less about marking an occasion and more about making time for each other. Suryagarh Jaisalmer At Suryagarh Jaisalmer, family time unfolds against the vast landscape of the Thar, with a stay that brings together desert adventures, regional culture and unhurried time together. Set in the heart of Jaisalmer, the fort-inspired property offers families a chance to explore the destination through experiences such as the Thar Trail, Temple Trail and Silk Route Tour, while evenings can be spent over dinners on the dunes, sundowners at Kuldhara or picnics at desert oases. With its combination of immersive experiences, local cuisine and open desert landscapes, Suryagarh makes it easy to turn a few days away into quality time together, without needing a particular occasion to bring everyone there. Narendra Bhawan Bikaner At Narendra Bhawan Bikaner, family holidays become an opportunity to discover the history and personality of a city through the life of its last reigning Maharaja, Narendra Singhji. Once his residence, the hotel reflects his travels and eclectic tastes, while its curated experiences extend beyond the property into Bikaner's royal heritage, including explorations of Junagarh Fort and the city's palaces and historic sites. Families can also come together over Marwari cuisine, a desert dinner or a leisurely sundowner at Darbari, making the stay as much about discovering Bikaner together as it is about slowing down within the Bhawan itself. Mary Budden Estate At Mary Budden Estate in Binsar, family time takes on a slower rhythm, surrounded by the forests and mountains of the Kumaon region. Spread across five acres within the wilderness of Binsar, the estate offers families the chance to step away from the pace of everyday life and spend time together in nature, whether walking through deodar and oak forests on Darwin's Walk, following the Lama's Path or discovering the region's birdlife through The Hodgson's Chronicles, which explores the area's 179 native bird species. With experiences that also extend to local temples, markets and Himalayan cuisine, Mary Budden Estate offers the kind of escape where simply being together becomes the reason for the journey.
